Abstract:
This in vitro study was designed to determine if enlarging a canal with a holmium: YAG (Ho:YAG) laser (using six different-sized fiber-optic tips) would increase the change in temperature at the root surface and if fiber-optic tips spaced more closely would enlarge the canal more efficiently and consistently.
